That's a terrible name, do I have to say the whole thing?
Agree. Heck just Racing Bulls would have been better.
Here's a suggestion... and hear me out here...
Minardi.
What a team that was. Professional backmarkers but an unbelievable eye for talent.
What in the horrendous ad-ridden actual fuck is this?
It's working fine on duck duck go and firefox
I was referring to the AlphaTauri name. Sorry for the confusion.
Lmao
Might as well get two more sponsors for the name while your're at it.
FR though these names are just getting longer and harder to pronounce.
And to think just a few years ago F1 used to look down upon the NASCAR Taco Bell Mountain Dew Baja Blast 400.
Stake and Visa. Superb names for Formula 1 teams.
(Granted, people said the same thing about Red Bull when they joined, but still..)
At least out of context of the trademark, “Red Bull” sounds like a tough, angry, charging animal.
“Visa” doesn’t evoke speed; “Visa Cash App” sounds ridiculous. How is anyone even supposed to refer to them? “The Visa Cash Apps looked poor in qualifying today” “the Visa Cash App has DRS now” “the Visa has 5 cards on its wheel display, the first one being the master card” 🙄
Fucking name your team something cool and then do like a Visa livery coloring or something, ugh. “The Visas” sounds like they had issues with passports
I mean, not for nothing, but a blue, yellow and white visa liveried car would be fire in contrast to all of the various shades of black and red cars we have on the grid.
Some AI examples.
We're gonna end up with a bunch of crypto.com ASDA "brought to you by Swedish Fish" Alpine
"Swedish Fish Alpine" sounds meme-y enough tp be funny bth
Urgh. Terrible.
"Hey AT, Alfa Romeo is out! You are now the only cars people mean when they talk about the Alphas! Cool right?"
"Nahh, we are the ViCaAp Racing Bulls now."
“ViCaPa” sounds like a twitch chatter shitting on Linux text editors
There, that’s the most Lemmy comment in this community so far
Never thought Racing Bulls would actually seem like a good name.
Yeah, that is a truly god awful name. Not just because of the stupid sponsors in the name, but also it will almost certainly need to be shortened in order to actually make it less of a mouthful. I’m guessing people will just call them Racing Bulls, except that is kind of close to Red Bull’s main team name and could be confusing. VCARB?
Well I'm certainly not going to shorten it the the VISA Cash Apps.
